When should you notify the bank of a death?

The deceased person is likely to have ongoing standing orders and direct debits, so it's best to notify these organisations of the death as soon as possible to avoid receiving letters demanding outstanding payments.

Who notifies the bank when someone dies?

Family members or next of kin generally notify the bank when a client passes. It can also be someone who was appointed by a court to handle the deceased's financial affairs. There are also times when the bank learns of a client's passing through probate.
